Feeling somewhat silly!!! Midday is as black as midnight, Silence so loud it hurts your ears. Do not ask your maker for light, Dark and quiet is here have a beer. Leave your gods and deities be, Beg not for a godly way out. You are the cause of this, you know, Each man his prison brings about. If it is paradise you seek, Try living your life so it fits. A light will shine, words will be spoke, And out of this jam you will get. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Hi Emma. Appreciate seeing you here today. Yep, a little indepth managing can certainly create and maintain an attitude for the quicksand we always seem to be in. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

What is it they say: 'God helps those who help themselves.' Well, that's all very well, but some find that rather difficult, and a helping hand from a fellow human being is very often more the order of the day. Always keen to read your work. |

ah, I see you are trying to sneak a bite of serious under a spoon full of silliness. It worked, I didn't taste a thing! I do believe I detect an attitude improvement. Thanks my friend, I needed that! Lori |

Thanks Redstart, I know you are right. A helping hand in sometimes just the thing to help make things right. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

"You are the cause of this, you know, Each man his prison brings about." So true for woman too! |
